do not agree, windows is awesome and doesn’t annoy me at all. I just hope that they made it less bloatware and made ALL the extras optional… i mean like the paint, snipping too etc. I just don’t want them and use them.

Or, we can take this metaphorically and you’ll notice that the pattern of things getting broken hasn’t changed since the old days when service packs could potentially get into minor disagreements with your drivers and/or software and then go batshit and blue screen everything.

Well, I exaggerate quite a bit there but funny image nonetheless. In direct comparison to ubuntu, you could say that you start with a swiss army knife and each “service pack” or dist-upgrade continuously removes one tool from the knife, or more.

Slow ‘n effective, but I prefer taking the intransigent CPU out back and like an ailing old beast of burden,
a few .40Cal hollow-points right into the HD brought me just as much relief to a few old computers and put them out of their terminal metastasized misery :-)
Don’t think I have taken any 12-step SP recovery programs to manage the stress of those few KB/SP’s that wouldn’t install even if they were teleported into the right place.
My (many) computers over 3-decades seldom hit the Redmond retirement home.

That hammer isn’t big enough.
I’ve got a 12 lb. sledge and I know how to use it.

Attn: Road Dog777, I agree with the .40 caliber hollow point approach. Simple to use, a loud satisfying noise plus immediate results but the personal application of brute force appeals to me. And you don’t have to reload a sledgehammer.
